Arabic is the fastest-growing language in American household

Arabic is the fastest-growing language in American households — and that’s leading the US Census Bureau to explore the tricky task of adjusting its questionnaires to ­accommodate the language’s right-to-left script.

The bureau is using focus groups to explore possible changes to the 2020 census questionnaires for Arabic speakers who are not English-proficient, the Pew Research Center reported Friday.

Arabic is now the seventh-most commonly spoken non-English language in US households. An estimated 1.1 million people ages 5 and older speak Arabic at home, an increase of 29 percent between 2010 and 2014.

Yom Yerushalyim ... 49 years of Israeli Sovereignty on Sunday

As we mark with joy and thanksgiving the 49th birthday of united Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty this Sunday, let us put aside our concerns for Jerusalem’s future for a moment and simply celebrate.

It was during these very days in 1967 that the IDF, with great heroism and Divine providence, liberated the Jewish people’s holy capital – and brought about its official unification under Jewish sovereignty for the first time in nearly 19 centuries.

Chareidi Rebbe : 5-year-old girls 'shouldn't ride bicycles'

Rabbi of Jerusalem neighborhood of Nahlaot leaves many Charedim unimpressed with extreme ruling, claims young girls can 'provoke' men.

This Rebbele has to be a pervert .... no question ....

A guy who gets turned on by a 5-year-old-girl is a bono-fide pedifile! 

What's with these Rabbonim? 

A step too far? Recent years have seen some haredi rabbis competing over who can levy the most stringencies on their followers.

But the rabbi of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Nahlaot has raised eyebrows among much of the haredi public after issuing a ban on girls aged 5 and up riding bicycles - because it's "immodest."

The rabbi stated, according to Ynet, that young girls riding bikes "cause serious damage to their modesty."

In his ruling, which was distributed in synagogues throughout the neighborhood, he claimed that bicycle seats caused young girls to sit in a way which could be "provocative" to men.

"We inform parents that they are obligated to forbid their daughters from age five and up from acting in this illegitimate way," it read.

Talkbackers on the Kikar Shabbat haredi news site were less than impressed with the "ruling," with one retorting that men should "guard their own eyes" instead of issuing bizarre edicts, and others accusing those behind the ruling of being perverse. "People see what they want to see," one remarked.

Shimon Yisroel Meisels 5-year-old motherless child dies after falling from balcony on 5th floor

 Hatzolah Emergency crews in Williamsburg were called to a multi-family home early this afternoon, after a small child fell from a fifth-floor porch.

5 year-old Shimon Yisroel Meisels fell from the porch at 200 Wallabout Street and Lee Avenue, shortly before 08:00 P.M.

The child was in critical condition when taken by ambulance to Brooklyn hospital, but later succumbed to the injuries and passed away.

Shimon Yisroel is the grandson of Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Meisels, Shopron Rav of Williamsburg.

Ironically Shimon Yisroel lost his mother two years ago from a terminal illness.

Five "Alteh Kockers" get 3.3 million Dollars after fighting Nursing Home Closure

B"H we live in a capitalist country, and so far Berney "the seltzer salesman" Sanders, has not yet turned the USA into a communist country. 
That means that so far citizens of the US are still allowed according to the constitution  to make money, even if they are "greedy" developers!

There is a developer by the name of Haysha Deitsch, who bought the assisted-living home, and was closing the facility to convert it into condos!
 Wow! What a crime! Let's execute him!

So five Yentas, ages 91-101 year olds,, who are waiting to meet their Maker momentarily,, saw $$$$$,, and had their "non-greedy" daughters file a multi-million dollar lawsuit to stop the closure so they could continue living in their dark far-kockteh roach infested rooms ....

The "non-greedy" daughters now saw a capitalist opportunity to make money and make the "greedy" developer into some kind of criminal. ....They sued.....and won!
Only in America!

But watch out...because soon Berney will take their "non-greedy" money and give it to the non-employed Syrian refuges, in line with Karl Marxs' idea of distributing the wealth....
Which means taking money from hard working people and giving it to the lowlifes living on the stoops of The Bronx or giving it to 5 dying yentas!
I really got to get out of here!

Five elderly women who refused to leave their assisted-living home after its closure was announced will finally vacate as part of a $3.35 million settlement, attorneys said Wednesday.

The holdout residents, ages 91 to 101, will be required to leave Prospect Park Residence by Aug. 31, and will each receive $533,333 under the deal reached Tuesday in Brooklyn state Supreme Court. Eleven former residents or their estates will also receive payouts.

“It’s definitely a win for our clients. We got them a significant amount of money and time to make plans to find appropriate placements nearby that they can move to,” said Fred Millett, one of the attorneys for the holdouts. “This allows them more options to look at places that they can maintain their standard of living.”

The agreement comes more than two years after the facility announced it would be closing and sold for conversion to condominiums in the upscale Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn. Most of the roughly 125 residents vacated in short order, but a handful fought the move , sparking a web of litigation. Separate lawsuits alleging wrongful deaths remain unresolved, as well as litigation over the status of the $76.5 million building sale.

Frank Carone, an attorney representing building owner Haysha Deitsch, said he was pleased with the settlement and that it allowed a focus on the remaining lawsuits. Deitsch, in an email, suggested the holdouts’ families were simply motivated by greed.

“I believe it was always about money for the families of the residents,” he said. “They are getting plenty of it, and now we can all move on.”

Ten former residents or their estates will receive payments of $25,000 under the agreement. One other former resident will receive a payment of $433,333 under a deal that Millett said had been separately negotiated.

“In the perfect scenario, PPR would have never closed,” Millett said. “We did all we could the last two years keeping it open.”

Joyce Singer, whose mother Alice has remained at the facility, expressed fear Deitsch would follow through with the agreement and said while the money would help in the transition, it still would be difficult.

“It’s going to be unbelievably distressing for her,” she said. “She loves that room. There isn’t a day that goes by that she doesn’t say to me how much she loves looking out those windows.”

Trump Turns Obama into a Stuttering Mess

'Refuser' husband located after 10 years, finally gives divorce

The creep was finally forced to give a get .... but the creepy creep Bugeye Kin still didn't giva a get, even though he is married to some South American skank!

The story began some ten years ago, when a man and woman, parents of four children, decided that their marriage was over. They succeeded in reaching a civil court agreement on guardianship of the children and property division, but the actual get (divorce papers) never materialized. The woman finally turned to the Rabbinical Court in the hope that it could facilitate the get.

However, the husband maintained that he still had some outstanding monetary claims, and that only the civil court could adjudicate them. "Regarding financial issues," explained Rabbi Eliyahu Maimon, head of the Rabbinical Court's Division for Agunot (literally, chained women), to the Kipa website, "there was nothing we could do to advance the process."

But the court could – and did – inform the husband that it was obligating to give the get even before the monetary issues were finalized. The court told him that if he did not do so, sanctions would be placed upon him. The husband wasted no time, and disappeared.

Specifically, he left his hometown and did not accept mail or phone calls. He also, as was learned only recently, assumed a new name and lived in a non-registered, one-room apartment in Givat Ze'ev, north of Jerusalem. His family helped him remain incognito, and in fact, neither the woman nor the courts were able to locate him.

A year ago, the Rabbinical Court decided to involve the Agunot Division. "We hired a private detective," Rabbi Maimon said, "but he was unable to find the recalcitrant husband, whose family misled us in many ways. We ultimately hired another private eye, and he succeeded in finding him."

It happened a week ago. The investigator discovered that the man was living in Givat Ze'ev, working as a photographer under a new name. He stayed away from public transportation and attempted not to be seen. 

Two nights ago, Rabbi Maimon recounts, "we followed him as he rode his electric bicycle home. There he was placed under arrest, sat in jail for 24 hours – and this morning he gave the get."

Rabbi Maimon expressed his satisfaction that the woman's ten-year nightmare was ended, but said, "It's too bad it didn't happen earlier. We arrest some 30-50 men each year for this purpose, and 95% of them give a get within a day of being arrested. In this case, the man gained nothing over these ten years, other than having to live underground for all that time. We would like to make it clear to everyone: A man who refuses to give a get – there is no point in hiding."

Rabbinical Court sources reported at the end of 2014 that there were 180 cases of '"chained" women whose husbands refuse to give them divorces – and 190 cases of men in a parallel situation. 

Donald Trump attacks 'dishonest,' 'sleazy' media....Video

Finally a guy with guts ...gives it to the lying press .... Can't wait until he takes out the lying New York Times!
It's interesting to note how naive reporters are about charity collections... that once someone pledges it can take up to a full year to collect... and the guys that pledged are bluechip companies!

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump attacked the media as "dishonest" Tuesday, calling one journalist a "sleaze" and another a "loser" for their coverage of the charity event he ran when he skipped a Fox News debate in January. 

After controversy reigned over Fox's bias, Trump instead ran an event for veterans' charities which he stated recently raised some $5.6 million in one night. 

But after several members of the press, including ABC News's Tom Llamas and editor of the Weekly Standard Bill Kristol, questioned that figure, Trump went on the defensive. 

"The press should be ashamed," he said. "I have never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job." 

"I think the political press is among the most dishonest people that I have ever met," he added.

Trump then pointed at Llamas, saying "you're a sleaze because you know the facts and you know the facts well"; he also called Kristol a "loser."

Mitzvah of living in Eretz Yisroel

Parshat Behar

The Importance of Living in Eretz Yisrael

by Rabbi Shmuel Knopfler

In Parashat Behar… we learn of the special relationship that the Jewish people have to the land of Israel, and of the special obligations that apply to those who dwell in the Holy Land.

Parashat Behar details the mitzvot of Shmita, the sabbatical year in which the land lays fallow every seventh year, and Yovel, the jubilee that is observed in the fiftieth year. The Torah, in this parasha, also mandates the practice of redeeming the land in the jubilee year, outlines the regulations regarding the purchasing of resident houses in walled cities, calls for the establishment of cities for the Levites and pronounces guidelines for preventing poverty.
